“We’re not real good at being yelled at”. Great line

I met Butch once in 1977 or 1978 when he had his band cyalled "Trucks".y They played in liutttle club in Mobile, AL called "Thirsties" where about 200 people would jam into a space for about 75. On a break, he wandered over to where I was playing "Pong" and asked if I wanted to play a game. I did, and I won. He bought me a beer and we talked for a few minutes. On the next break he found me for a rematch. This time he won and I bought him a beer. Smiles and good times all around that night. Nicest guy you would ever want to meet.

Great memory pal, good for you...👍

If there's anything that makes my day, It's hearing stories about Duane and the Brothers.

We all sorely miss these special musicians. RIP Duane, Gregg, Berry, Butch. Thanks for all you gave us. Thanks to Dickey and Jaimoe too, of course. We're glad you are still with us.

Butch was a great guy, I hooked up with them in 73. They were all good folks but Butch made us feel very welcome. He let me play his kit-I was & honored & still am!

If there’s an afterlife, I hope Butch and Duane are out doing some fishin on a little lake. ❤️

Rest In Peace, Butch. You made a great band even better.

More Duane stories please.

I had the pleasure to be with Butch Trucks and Jaimoe at Julio iglesiasia house in miami in 1996 for Tom Dowds partyt when he received the masters of music award for his 50th year of producing records it was on of my most memorable nights with the guys and my best friend Tom Dowd i was so shocked to hear of Butchs death ,They were truly great guys really down to earth and very kind RIP Butch

By the time of the unfortunate and eternally regrettable end of Duane's life, NOBODY could hold a candle to his game, not even Clapton coming close.... as told to me by BB King outside Palace Theater New Haven CT March 1988, while I was hounding him for a handshake and an autograph. When I told BB how much I dug him and Duane on Sweet Little Angle/Loan Me a Dime from DA Anthology he said, "that boy played like I can only wish I could." Then he said "I'll tell him you said so when I see him someday." 25 some years later they're finally together again.

@@tammieparrishmiller3669 Thank you for finding the emotion buried in such a long-held memory and even deeper gratitude for taking a moment to reply. Tho reading back over I see how being a bit rushed the thought could have been better expressed. If you liked that then try this I had a long-haired MaineCoon mutt I rescued from a feral litter when I waz young so many years ago and first got to living alone. I called him Tsunami cuz of the regal way he held himself with a color and a coat so soft and floofy, unmistakable like no other there ever was and knew darn well he was esp pretty ... - and what a friendly kiiity he grew up to be... would flop on the sidewalk to let passers-by rub his belly whenever we were out front and sidle-up swishy-tail to anyone, even the mailman, imagine that. Then around age 3 he went missing and I called and whistled and hung up signs, combing through backyards empty sheds and old garages, shining a light under decks and porches and knocking on every door that would answer... but no Tsunami. My search was so tenacious i was certain if he got hit I'd at least find a trace or word of his death ... but no Tsunami Nearly 3 months had gone by and my hope was waning but still I'd make my regular loop, if only to delude myself for one more day. It was a Saturday after half day of work, I parked my truck at my home and set out on my route, when 2 blocks down and around 2 corners I came upon that old woman's house the one with the front yard flower-filled just as she was tending her garden. We talked about her flowers and plants and what a lovely day while she clipped buds and pulled weeds when suddenly looking about, I could not believe my eyes... there thru the picture window was Tsunami sprawled across the back of her couch, asleep in the sun. I'd recognize him anywhere by the face and that coat My heart skipped a beat but I held back saying only, That's a real nice looking kitty you have there... what's his name? She said, Oh yes that's Jasper, my husband's name, we were together nearly 50 years, and he showed up a month to the day since Jasper died. He's my husband come back to me... I kno because he never leaves the sight of me. I'm so lucky he came. I was so terribly lonely before then. He gives me everything to live for, I didn't know what to do with the rest of my life before he came to me. With that I gave her a hug and said, I'm so sorry about your loss but I kno Jasper is lucky to have found his way to you. It's clear you are both well-loved and meant for each other God bless you and have a wonderful day. As I walked away I turned to look in time to see her inside stroking Tsunami's fur, she lovingly smiling at him... he pushing against her hand, his eyes squinted shut They do not belong to us. The Animal Spirits know which go to who, and I was just fostering him, allowing him to bloom until his determined place was ready for him. In the realm im my in which I live there is a very good chance this is true Besides, who was I to drop the bomb on her street soley for my own selfish needs I envision the call he received telling him it was time to leave and always wondered if, at the end of the path, he paused to give a look back - one final time To this day my heart aches and is lifted all in one.

Leaning against the stage at an Allman Brothers concert, right in front of Berry Oakley at the Manhattan Center in late August 1971 - yup - that was me - a night one never forgets. RIP Butch

The backbone of one of the best bands to ever make music for the ages.

I love that picture of Duane and Wilson Pickett.

Love you Butch, play some tights beats with Duane in Heaven brother.

LMAO....This is good stuff...I love the Filmore East cover photo story....The Allmans NEVER gave a shit !!! RIP Skydog !!

While "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" would have been remembered as another find Eric Clapton album, it's the guitar duets that make it a truly stunning record, just as the Allman/Betts combination was a large part of the ABB magic.

@@markallison2630 you obviously don't know. There is a clear distinction between rock music and Southern rock. You can thank The Allman Brothers for that. Without them, the subgenre probably never would've been created. Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith...none of those are Southern Rock or can be traced back the Southern rock. Eric Clapton isn't Souther rock. Lynyrd Skynyrd. Allman Brothers. Jethro Tull, Marshall Tucker, 38 Special. Those are Southern rock bands. There is a CLEAR distinction. There are clear subgenres of rock music. Classic rock, Southern rock, country rock, and even glam rock. Just because it happened to be the Southern US that rock music was 'born' doesn't make all, rock music 'Southern rock'. If you don't understand that, you probably shouldn't be on the internet trying to argue point of a subject of which you know nothing about.
